Doom Eternal: The Ancient Gods - Part Two

The Ancient Gods Part 2 is a challenging, smart conclusion to Doom Eternal's story arc.

Doom Eternal: The Ancient Gods Part 2 is a notable step up from the game's previous DLC.

To say that Doom Eternal: The Ancient Gods - Part 2 is better than Part 1 in every way would be glossing over the strengths and weaknesses of both expansions. In some ways, TAG2 is the DLC I wished Doom Eternal had released much earlier; most of the new enemies, the platforming sections, and the Sentinel Hammer refreshed my interest in becoming engulfed by waves of demons Doom Eternal had prepared me to slay. In other times, I felt that TAG2 seemed shorter and more linear than TAG1, and was utterly disappointed by how quickly the game ended. Be prepared to have a helluva good time, but not for a bloody long time.

The Ancient Gods Part 2 is a good conclusion to DOOM Eternal, with some funny new features that will please the players !

While having nice moments, with some adjustments made to the combat design, DOOM Eternal The Ancient Gods - Part 2 left us with a sense of indifference. The absence of a good narrative, coupled with an unusual final boss fight and flawed exploration and platform sequence, The Ancient Gods - Part 2 marks the lowest point of the franchise since the 2016 reboot.

Doom Eternal: The Ancient Gods - Part Two brought the last chapter of the reboot started in 2016. With new worlds, events and, especially, enemies and sharp challenges, we have a DLC that maintains the high quality. Although some points were not that good, the final result is great and concludes the Slayer saga in a satisfactory way.

Ancient Gods - Part Two is a step in the right direction, even if id Software did somewhat throw the baby out with the bathwater when it came to balancing.

In conclusion, id Software has managed to create a truly important DLC package that will make all players who weren’t yet done with the Slayer happy. The new enemies are tough, and especially the final boss fight will make you sweat. However, thanks to new mechanics, like the swinging one, and a new powerful weapon (the Sentinel Hammer), you’ll once again manage to prevail over the demon hordes ready to conquer Earth.

When said and done, even with more questions than answers left to be asked, DOOM Eternal: The Ancient Gods – Part 2 does what it set out to do. It gives closure to our current story, allowing for the Doom Slayer’s story, for the time being, to conclude, opening room for the future of the franchise as there is seemingly a lot to be done with the entirety of the doom universe itself.

The Ancient Gods is an enigmatic sequel that closes out a compelling chapter in DOOM’s growing legacy. All facets and features literally scream – No I mean they scream – bloody murder. A brutally bodacious escapade, that’s bound to prove itself worthy of the shooter’s bequest.
